Hehe. Right, Holger could use REXX or he could use those unix file utils to
convert it to PCBOARD format. I think I used both when I converted my PCBOARD
format to FILES.BBS, although it might be a bit more tricky going the other
way to wrap the description and inserting a "|" in the appropriate spot on
each line of the wrapped description. Something in REXX would certainly be a
bonus for all OS/2 PCBOARD sysops, not just Holger.
